Irish Americana duo SEAFOAM GREEN release 'For Something to Say' from their sophomore album....

Following the release of their highly anticipated sophomore album, ‘Martin’s Garden’ on 1st June, Americana-folk-rock force Seafoam Green continue to impress with the third single from the LP, ‘For Something To Say’.

‘For Something To Say’, is the opening track of ‘Martin’s Garden’ and instantly pleases with fuzzy jam-band grit and sunshine harmonies, oozing with guitar solo twang and expansive organ vistas. It’s a rollicking journey through the band’s retro influences, flecked with their own unique twist that encompasses Americana influences and the band’s roots in Liverpool and Ireland with a nod to modern folk-rock bands like My Morning Jacket, Band Of Horses and Deadstring Brothers.

 

On the new single Dave O’Grady says, “For Something to Say is a glimpse of things we have seen/thought and experienced on the road; be it USA or Europe, a new story unfolds in front of us everyday and it's quite the adventure!”

 

“We are an old school “road band”, we love to travel and spread our music”, he explains “…plus it’s the only way we make a living…“Ive see the sun set twice today” is how it can feel when you’re on a 1,000 mile drive between shows but you've gotta to make it!”.

 

“I burn my feet for something to say”, - touring and travelling (especially squashed into a hatchback with gear for months) can be very hard on the mind and the body but we do it to gain and share our experiences through our music.”, O’Grady expands.


 

Seafoam Green’s new long player - ‘Martin’s Garden’ - is the band's second studio record.  Their debut was a collaboration with Rich Robinson of the Black Crowes.  Once again, Seafoam Green are collaborating with the artists residing in their own record collections - inspirations steeped in the culture of the Southern States. The album is available to pre-order now on CD, vinyl or download HERE

 

How do two Irish rock n’ rollers go from talking about the music they love, to playing with the musicians who made it?  It all comes down to the songs they are writing.

Tyler Greenwell - founding member of Grammy Award winning Tedeschi Trucks Band - got wind of Seafoam Green preparing to make their next record, and made it known that he wanted to be involved. It wasn’t long before Seafoam Green flew out to Atlanta, GA for a symbiotic week of recording with some of the gnarliest players in the world.

 

Dave O’ Grady and Muireann McDermott Long specialise in what we have come to know as Americana. If you want earthy, rootsy, blues, gospel, country, folk, they have it, but what it amalgamates to at this level which has been perfected across two albums and countless live shows is the sound of a glorious rock n’ soul revival.

Hot off the heels of ‘Mine All Mine’, which saw Derek Trucks lend a hand on slide guitar licks and which gained praise from Americana Highways, Relix and Classic Rock Magazine, ‘For Something To Say’ shows again, that Seafoam Green are a band to be reckoned with !

BIOG:

Seafoam Green are Irish songwriting duo Dave O'Grady and Muireann McDermott Long.  The pair specialise in what we now call Americana. If you want blues, gospel, and folk, they’ve got it, but what they’ve actually perfected across two albums and countless live shows is the sound of a glorious rock n’ soul revival.

Seafoam Green even find room for a dash of Dublinese, just to remind people where they’re coming from. Heavy hitters like Rich Robinson, Derek Trucks, and Tyler Greenwell have all chipped in, and it’s not hard to hear why, for this is thrilling, vital, and – that word again - soulful music.
